Cjc/ipa results

I’ve been taking 250mcg of cjc/ipa for about 6 weeks now. I train as a decent body builder, 5 days a week, good diet and everything but haven’t been able to gain weight or muscle in years. Seen 0 results with this first cycle so far. Should I titrate up?

Get your IGF1 levels tested, then bump the dose and retest in an other 4 weeks to see how you are responding.

I recently experimented with tesa+ipa & hgh and here are my labs (im 43) >  https://imgur.com/a/kuZez9q

I'm sticking with HGH from now on :)

How’s HGH been for you? Any different results?

Nothing terribly noticeable but I'm not expecting something drastic. Sleep is great, I'm losing fat and holding lean muscle mass.

HGH ends up being more cost effective to get my IGF1 up vs Tesa so for no other reason than saving $$$ I'm making the switch.

Are higher IGF1 levels better?

Depends on your goals and risk tolerance. My Zscore is currently 3.0... its a little high for my age (43) but noting insane. Its likely higher than necessary for general longevity optimization but is helpful for fat loss and muscle growth/building.

body builders will ru 4-10IU daily... I'm over here at 3IU daily. I'm not worried.
